majority leader harry reid is reportedly ready to use a process known as reconciliation to get a democrats-only bill on the floor with just 51 votes. democratic senator sherrod brown is with us. wouldn't this be declaring war in the senate? >> i don't know exactly what it means, declaring war in the senate. i do know that senator baucus has tried for months to get bipartisan agreement on things like important parts of legislation like an option. and republicans for philosophicals are not able to make any kind of significant concessions so they can move forward. we want to do this bipartisanly, but more important than a bipartisan bill is a good bill. and to allow the drug companies and the insurance industries to write this bill the way they did the medicare law under the bush years is certainly not tenable for the great majority of democrats and for the country, frankly. >> well, senator mccain this weekend on cnn state of the union said that they've been shut out, particularly on the health committee, which i believe on which you serve. let's watch what he had to say. >> well, first of all, u

senator harry reid calls them fear mongers. with us former house speaker newt gingrich. is it politically savvy to marginalize what is happening in town halls? >> no, i think they are taking the wrong tack. i think the president would do much better to quit selling, go out and calmly listen to people. agree it rewrite the bill in september, let the american palmeiro be in charge instead of politicians. gallop released a poll where independents are more sympathetic to the protesters than they are to the congress. i think that i would hope that the white house would have read that gallup poll and thought a little minister deeply about what they are saying. because right now you have people like the white house press secretary, speaker of the house, senate majority leader basically attacking the american people. and i always try it tell politicians your constituents can fire you but you can't fire your constituents. so, it is useful to listen to them. they are your customers. brian: senator grassley essentially left washington thinking i can work out a bipartisan deal with
